Jason Segel is celebrating his 46th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed actors of his generation.

Popular actor-musician-screenwriter Jason Segel (How I Met Your Mother, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 46th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Segel, a cultural icon

Born Jason Jordan Segel in Los Angeles on January 18, 1980, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Segel's not just a great actor, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Jason hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Jason Segel as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 46.

Happy Birthday, Jason, you're the best!
